Given my affinity for the dessert course, it's safe to say I know my way around a slice of wedding cake. So when I went to a Walmart event this week, I wasn't going to say no when they offered me a couple of slices for breakfast. (Wedding cakes are available at every Walmart with a full-service bakery. Who knew?)

And I'm happy—and fine, surprised—to report they were good. Like, really good. And CHEAP. If you've shopped around for wedding cakes from schmancy bakeries, you probably already know they can cost upwards of $5 a slice. And super-duper-fancy wedding cake designers (think: Sylvia Weinstock) charge closer to $20 a slice.

The cake above, on the other hand, which serves 134 people, costs only $135. (Or just over $1 a slice.) Obviously it's not the most intricately designed confection in the world, but I have yet to meet a bride who's super hung up on having an over-the-top wedding cake. I mean, do you remember the cake from any wedding you've been to? Ever? I don't.

Oh, and P.S. That's buttercream frosting, since I know so many of you are fondant-averse.

Would you get your wedding cake from Walmart?

P.P.S. Also, everything on that table is from Walmart. Including those adorbs candle holders!
